Seasonally adjusted GDP lost slight momentum in quarterly terms in Q2 as a deterioration in net trade outweighed rebounds in private spending and fixed investment. Turning to Q3, economic growth likely remained subdued. Private spending likely remained uninspiring, dragged on by a steeper decline in real wages in July, an uptick in the unemployment rate in July–August compared to Q2 and sharper pessimism among consumers in the quarter; retail sales fell from Q2’s level in July–August. In addition, industrial production remained in the doldrums, declining at a double-digit pace in the same two-month period. Headwinds seemingly also mounted in the external sector, with goods exports swinging into contraction in July–August. In other news, telecom giant Vodafone recently released plans to build a distribution hub in Luxembourg, boding well for employment and investment.
